Agent API (with $200/mo free credit) reveals finer-grained Opus reasoning traces
gandamu_ml · x · 2026-11-07
Replying to theo's Opus 5.5 reasoning-trace speculation, gandamuml notes that coding via the agent API (poor value, but $200 free credit monthly) and not omitting summaries yields much more frequent reasoning traces — not a coherent story, but a finer-grained peek at what the model attends to. A practical way to probe whether traces are distorted.
